Story Night: Stories of love, heartbreak and everything in between

A new season of Story Night! Come listen to storytellers sharing carefully crafted stories that will make you think, laugh and cry! Story Night Brussels: an evening of connection and community through personal stories Looking for a different kind of Saturday night? Join us for the one and only Story Night of Storytelling Brussels! Storytelling Brussels aims to create a space where we pause, connect, and experience our shared humanity through the power of stories. A space where everyday experiences become well-crafted narratives with meaning and impact. Stories that will make you laugh, cry, reflect, feel. Come with an open mind and leave with a full heart. Event Details: • Each storyteller has prepared a short (around 8 minutes) personal story. • Venue: the Bridge Theatre Studio; Chau. de Forest 83, St. Gilles • Doors open 19:30. Show starts at 20:00 (sharp!). More than just a show, we want to create a community around storytelling, so we encourage you to come early, socialize, and maybe meet new people! There will be music and drinks available at the bar. We are starting again at 8 pm to allow for more storytellers and not end too late! Please note that the front door of the venue might be closed once the show starts, as it’s a private space, so you might not be able to enter if you are too late! • Attention! We will be collecting donations upon check-in at the door. We recommend a donation of 10€/person, but if you can't pay this at the moment, feel free to make a donation of your choice. All the earnings will go to compensate the performers (some of whom will be traveling long distances for this event) and organise more of these in the future. Please bring cash. • All stories will be told in English • We kindly ask you to be present and listen actively to the stories. But don't fear, we will also have time to have fun and chat in between, and some breaks to enjoy the bar!

Sharing stories in front of an audience may well be the oldest form of art. This ancient oral tradition is experiencing a modern revival through organizations like The Moth in New York, the Mezrab in Amsterdam, or The Bear in Berlin. Now, it is Brussels’ turn! Though deeply connected to many other disciplines, storytelling is an artform on its own. It might make you laugh, but it's not stand-up comedy. It might make you think, but it's not a TED talk. It make help you heal, but it's not therapy. Ultimately, it's about connecting with each other, sharing and celebrating life. Want to tell a story? We believe everyone has a story to tell, and we welcome everyone who wants to dare! Previous performance experience is a plus, but not necessarily required. We simply ask you to fill up the form below and commit to respect the format (you will have priority if you have come to our shows before). Depending on the volume of applications we will contact you only when we find a spot for you, thank you for your understanding! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdEI9BtS4uNOWhBtvV2nEtbjy8Y6POs2PWPbYvFX5cTGy7n8A/viewform?usp=dialog Want to be updated about our events?
